Are the rest of you as popular and friendly as I am.

This lonely lady needs a friend apparently.



How many of these do YOU receive 

[Doggie 1]

I had a Leyland Marina once.
A bit of a goer but a hard ride.

[Dazzler]

I get quite a few which hotmail puts in my Junk folder.

I just delete them (not prepared to risk a virus or trojan by opening them!)

Better looking than any Marina I've ever seen.

I wonder if the the Russian Lady that was trying to seduce con my Dad a while back used the same photo...

These are known to be Russian mobsters running scams leading to extortion and blackmail of lonely and socially inept middle aged men.

Oh, is that what I am. 

How do they extort & blackmail, Gonz.

[The Gonz]

The Russian bride dating offer opens the door. If the vic engages, they extract whatever information they can to learn about him. They hit paydirt if the vic is genuinely drawn in and reveals too much of himself or his work (sometimes classified). The 'relationship' often includes money sent to help the bride visit the vic, support her sick mother, etc. Once something like a transaction occurs, larger amounts of money easily go missing. Alternatively, any compromising of the vic sets him up for potential blackmail.

Fat chance of getting money out of me, I'm even stingier than Dazz.

... I'm even stingier than Dazz. 

That's.

Not.

Possible.

That's right.
He still owes me $2 for parking his hire car in my driveway.

What about the P76 calendar 

[Surferdude]

I got an e-mail from Westpac Bank the other day, telling me my on-line statement was available.
The layout and content of the e-mail was first class and was pretty much word for word what I get from my REAL bank provider.
I've never banked with Westpac. I took the e-mail in to them today and the guy told me they'd had several in the last couple of days.
These scammers are getting pretty efficient.

[Doggie 1]

Bugger.
I'll have to think up a new one now.

[The Gonz]

Bugger.
I'll have to think up a new one now.

The net is closing on you, Doggie Boy.

Thankfully I don't get emails from Trolls 

[Phil №❶]

I didn't know Trolls looked like that.
